3 Claims.

This invention relates to dispensers and more especially to a dispenserfor latex and similar materials.

An object, of the invention is to provide a simple, practical andinexpensive article of the character described.

Another object of the invention is to provide an improved and moreeflicient means of dispensing latex and similar viscous materials havingfast drying properties.

An additional object is to provide a guide tube for a dispenser adaptedfor efficient application of cementitious material to the edge portionsof fabric such as carpeting.

Other objects and advantages will appear and be brought out more fullyin the following specification, reference being had to the accompanyingdrawing, wherein:

Fig. 1 is a sectional view of a dispenser and guide tube embodying myinvention.

Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 3 is a sectional view taken along the line 3-3 of Fig. 1.

Fig. 4 is a perspective view showing the air inlet valve andconnections, and,

Fig. 5 is a fragmentary view showing the rock lever.

Referring more particularly to the drawing I show a dispenser l having agenerally cylindrical portion H and a threaded neck l2 for connection tothe neck of a container l3 or other reservoir of liquid or viscous latexor similar cementitious material. Cylindrical portion H has an annularend portion H recessed to receive and hold a flared cap I provided witha circular dispensing aperture Hi.

Dispenser ID has a cylindrical portion |1 provided with an end plate |8having an aperture IQ for a conical bleeder valve member 20. Member 20has a lever arm 2| and plate |8 has an extension 22 adapted to form afulcrum whereby to lift valve 20 from seat l9 when lever 2| is presseddownwardly as indicated.

A rod or pin 23 is suitably positioned in cylinder II and a rock lever24 is mounted thereon. fever 24 has an aperture 25'at one end for enaging a link 26 which has a semi-spherical ball seat 21 for a marbleball valve 28 adapted to normally close dispensing aperture I6. Aneyelet 29 or the like is secured to valve 20 and provides a flexibleconnection with a link member 30 to which is suitably secured a saddle3| having an elongated slot 32 for engagement with the angular endportion 260. of member 26 which extends through aperture 25 of arm 24. Aspring 33 is connected to eyelet 29 and an aperture 34 in arm 24.

The operation of'the invention as thus far described should be apparent.The latex or other material which fills cylinder II is normallyreaperture I6.

be applied which pushes aperture I6 and the cementitious material runstained therein since spring 33 maintains valve 20 and ball valve 28 inclosed position. The latex may be dispensed by a pressure on the surfaceto ball valve 28 away from out. If however it is desired to admit airinto cylinder valve lever 2| can be depressed raising valve 20 from seatl9 and the air thus admitted permits a more rapid flow of the dispensedliquid through dispensing aperture Hi. This lat ter movement of valvelever 2| will by engagement of saddle 3| and extension 260 raise ballguide 21 itself out and raise aperture I6.

I show a dispensing guide tube fixture 35 having a neck portion 36adapted to fit over cap I5 and the endportion of cylinder H and having aslot portion 31 forming a pair of guide abutmcnts 38. By this structurethe edge portions 39 of a pair of fabric pieces 40 to be cementedtogether can be placed in-slot 31 and the edge portions 39 will beadjacent dispensing The dispenser can thereupon be edges 39 dispensingthe latex or other cementitious material thereon, which edges canthereafter be brought together for the drying of the cementitiousmaterial.

Having described my invention what I claim is:

1. A dispenser as described comprising a tubular body having adispensing aperture, a ball valve for said aperture, a supply inlet forsaid body, a rock lever pivotally mounted in said body, a ball retaininglink connected to said rock arm, a bleeder valve having an actuatinglever,

ball valve 28 from dispensing passed over a springconnected to saidbleeder valve and rock arm, and a link connected to and rock arm.

2. A dispenser as described comprising a tubular body having adispensing aperture, a ball valve for said aperture, a supply inlet forsaid body, a rock lever pivotally mounted in said body, a ball retaininglink connected to said rock arm, a bleeder valve having an actuatinglever. a spring connected to said bleeder valve and rock arm. and a lostmotion link connected to said bleeder valve and rock arm, said ballvalve adapted to open by external pressure applied to said ball, saidbleeder valve being kept closed by said spring.

3. A guide tube for a dispenser as described having a dispensing neckprovided with an aperture, said guide tube adapted to be detachablysecured to said neck and having a slot adapted to receive the edgeportion of a flat element, said tube having an abutment at the bottom ofsaid slot to engage said element edge portion for positioning said edgeportion adjacent said dispensing neck aperture.
